Salvage Bench
A Salvage Bench is a crafting bench that allows you to destroy equipment items for quality currency (Armourer's Scraps,
Blacksmith's Whetstones,
Arcanist's Etcher) and
Artificer's Shards.
Acquisition
The Salvage Bench is unlocked after completing the quest Finding the Forge by handing in Smithing Tools to Renly in Act 1. Doing so will unlock the bench in towns and hideouts.
Mechanics
Most equipment that can have quality and/or rune sockets can be salvaged for currency. Gems and jewellery cannot be salvaged, even if they have quality.

When salvaging an item, you receive the following:

Artificer's Shard per socket
Any items socketed into a rune socket will be destroyed when salvaging.
